In response to an extremely genuine and earnest student request, Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett look at the "grammar of bread" through the lens of anthropology, history, theology, and Scripture. They consider its role in the rise of civilization, the symbolism involved in the process of baking bread, why the Hebrew word for "bread" seems to be related to the word for "war," and why Christ may have chosen it to become His Body. You'll never eat a sandwich the same way again after these reflections on the staff of life.
